I had high hopes for Wulin Warriors (the kung-fu puppet series on CN), but my God, what a shitty dub. They took something cool and made it unwatchable.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Yeah, I've noticed that CN doesn't really take dub quality into account when they decide what to show (or possibly in some cases they hire lousy VAs, I don't know.) I remember the Rurouni Kenshin dub as being particularly atrocious.
Note to dubbing companies: if you're going to dub an anime set in Japan, make sure your VAs can say Japanese names without stumbling over them hopelessly every time. Actual acting ability is helpful, too. Thanks.

So, the JLU season that you guys are watching. . . somehow . . . is it the one that is starting up on Feb 11th on Toon?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Let me guess, Toon is a digital channel, and Cartoon Network(which I do get) has no apparent plans to show the rest of the season. sigh...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Pretty sure it's just plain old Cartoon Network, unless CN's website is incorrect.

Well, that is the point, the new costume was designed by Tony Stark.

So why are they turning Spidey into Iron Man-redux?

It's part of the lead-up to the summer's event 'Civil War' where IM is a major player, where the implication is hero vs. hero. Peter is going to be torn between Tony and... well not revealed yet.
